If the wife of the father of a girl breastfeeds the child of the girl’s husband with the milk that is related to the girl’s father, then based on the precaution mentioned in Ruling 2483, the girl becomes unlawful for her husband, irrespective of whether the child is the child of the same girl or some other woman. [1] A maḥram is a person one is never permitted to marry on account of being related to them in a particular way, such as being their parent or sibling.
[2] The phrase ‘to whom the milk is related’ and its variations refer to the man with whom the woman had sexual intercourse which resulted in her having milk.
